U get medical patches with Doctor- they cost a lot

but - its the best way to stop smoking

when u apply those patches on ur body

the body or the mind does not ask for nicotine

give it a tryAnything can be done if you set your heart and mind to it !Yes, the hardest part in quitting smoking is when one is alone. All self-control and determination simply go up in smoke and you always find yourself lighting a stick of cigarette. Perhaps this is because we’re more tolerant and forgiving with ourselves than other people. But the best solution in quitting is still a strong self-control and determination. You have to stick with your decision to stop no matter what whether you-re with friends or all alone.

You should put special value and importance for each day that you managed to win your battle over nicotine by not smoking a single cigarette for 24 hours. That way, the next time you’re tempted to smoke you-ll find yourself having second thoughts because you-ve managed to survive a day without smoking and it-s such a pity to let this victory go to waste. Then score another triumph by not smoking the following day, and the next, etc. Before you know it you’ll have one full week of smoke-free days and you wouldn’t want to squander this hard earned victory by going back to smoking. Try it. That’s what I did and I haven’t smoked for over 20 years.Me too... think I do it because every time I try and pack up I tell everyone I-m stopping so its v embarrassing to light up when I-m with people... when alone the pressure is gone.

Don-t know the answer to your plight I-m afraid. Guess I could say something philosophical like -give up for yourself man- but that is so dull.

Good luck... it-s a tough one.wish i could stop, have tried allI don-t know but ironically I have the opposite problem with alcohol. If I am alone I don-t crave for it half as much as if I-m with someone.Boredom, when with someone you have someone to keep your mind off it. When a lone you are most likely not as busy and your mind is looking for something to keep yourself busy such as pick up a smoke.Get one of your friends to smash your fingers with a large hammer. It-s very difficult to hold a cigerette when your hands are in plaster!! Should help.Try to find things to do that you enjoy when you are by yourself. keep yourself occupied, and don-t give up! Good luck!Thats crazy, ive often wondered myself. i used to date this guy that hated that i smoked. since it was a long distance relationship i would only see him about every other weekend. at first i wouldnt smoke but i would crave them. Then i would forget i was a smoker the whole weekend. but the minute he left my drive way i was huffing away. i always took it as being a good canidate to be able to quit one day.oooh you better watch out because you will turn into that most peculiar of personalities- the SECRET smoker. And there are many more of these people than you might think.

It-s the secrecy that adds to the excitement BUT even if you only smoke one cigarette a year you-re still a smoker.

Just remember the shame you will feel if you tell everyone you have quit , and then someone catches you at it. That should help.17months ago i went to an Alan Carr clinic it lasted 5hrs i have not had a ciggy since, but i still want one now and again more so when i am alonesometimes a friend is all you need.

plus, they might be positively influencing whereas when you-re alone you have no external influence as to whether you should smoke or notBecause you can-t make up your own mind! Either you want to stop or you don-t. If you do, just don-t buy any more ciggies and don-t accept any freebies. Don-t believe all that bullshit about it being willpower - I decided to stop a few years ago - and I could smoke for Britain, and it was nothing to find I had THREE on at the same time in various parts of the house, 100+ a day, and suddenly, I stopped. Full stop dot com as they say!!!!! - and if I can do it, any OTHER pratt can do it !!!!you probably have a fear of being alone, i do. not to mention it has been proven that the cigarette industries in the past 10 yrs has raised the amount of nicotine by 20% making almost impossible to quit. u r not alone

Why its it that I can stop smoking when somebody is with me but not when Im alone? -
